Finding The Best Place To Stay When Abroad

January 17, 2018

Looking to go abroad? Maybe you’re sick of the jeopardy involved in the travelling sector when it comes to booking a room or being able to charge your phone. Finding a place to stay when you’re travelling can be a little tricky, and usually we book before we go. However, there are some of us who like to wing it, and when you’re on a backpacking trip around a country or continent, we have to take it night by night.

Yet, there’s a lot of accommodation out there for people to choose from. Whether you’re a sociable person who doesn’t mind sleeping four or five to a room, or you’re someone who desperately needs your own space in a queen size hotel room, don’t worry about the lack of space you’re finding out there.

So we’ve looked into where to find the best beach for your tastes, so now it’s time to make sure you’ve got a good place to go back to when the tide comes in too far and the wind turns a bit chilly. The nightlife can only be appreciated when you’ve got a safe space after all! Here’s some tips for you to look into if you need the help; take the world by storm because you got a great good night’s sleep in the hotel of your dreams!

A lot of us like to travel when we’re on a budget, as a lot more of our finances can be put to better use back home. However, just because you’re travelling cheap doesn’t mean you can’t have a good place to stay when you need one.

Of course, hostels are always a good choice here. They’re approachable, and can be found in many cities all over the globe. People worry about the variance you can find in the quality of them, but they’re actually incredibly clean places, with a large amount of amenities such as TV rooms, Wifi, themed foods, and plenty of party options. Of course, a lot of people just turn up for the fresh sheets, as all most travellers need are soft things to rest their heads on. Let’s face it, if you’re still not happy with the idea, you’ll be out and about most of the day, and you’ll just need a bunk to bed down in when the night rolls around.

On the other hand, you can avoid these entirely when you’ve done a bit of your networking homework. Do you have a friend where you’re going? Send them a message before you go away asking if they can shelter you for a night or two. Even if you don’t, and you feel bad about your lack of a social circle abroad, you can still connect with people looking to offer out rooms, or even just couches, for you to stay on for a night. It usually won’t cost you anything, and it’s good break away from completely communal rooms and a lack of privacy.

This sounds a little dangerous, doesn’t it? However, there’s quite a lot of safeguards put in place by both the service provider and by a few checks you can make yourself. You can even meet a lot of people like you when you travel like this, and get yourself a little pack to hike far and wide with. No longer will you have that lack of international friends you feel a little self conscious about!

Always look for good reviews and lengthy profiles on these kinds of sights, as it adds legitimacy to what a person is offering. And always remember: if something doesn’t feel right, don’t look into it!

Looking for a Little More Luxury?

The top hotels on the planet are always high rise buildings with thousands of windows and carefully plated walls. We can usually identify them just with a glance, and the lobby seems terrifying to enter even through the doors. Of course there’s also the extreme skyscraper variants in popular tourist places like Dubai and London, and that can be a good option for a bit of a thrill seeker.

These kind of places are also known as boutique hotels, and they’re on the smaller scale with a more exclusive clientele. They usually offer room service and pool side access, and the dining options are always spectacular. Because of their smaller space and branding, they offer more of a personalised experience to each of their guests, so if you’re looking to feel like a King or Queen for a few days, this is the option for you!

Hire Out a House to Yourself!

Having to stay with strangers or being surrounded by them is something a lot of people can’t cope with. If this sounds like you, remember you can get private spaces to use for as long as you need them. So, this idea is guaranteed to be a good idea for anyone who hates the idea of hostels and hotels. It can be a little more pricey, but when you’re accounting for the amount of privacy and ability to do whatever you want in your own space (a home away from home, quite literally), it’s usually worth it.

These places are usually popular in the East, with a lot of tourist housing options available in the Southeast region. Take a popular student destination like Singapore as a good example here. They have plenty of exclusive housing made specially for us nomadic types, so check https://www.propertyguru.com.sg/singapore-property-resources/singapore-condo-guides/ultimate-condo-rental-guide for more information on finding the best deals here. It’s a good place to greet friends on their travels, and have people come out with you, as far flung travels do tend to make the uninitiated pretty nervous!

There’s plenty of places for you to stay abroad, so check out your options before you go, and always look for ways to save good money. Yet, this can be a delicate balance, as if something is suspiciously cheap, it’s usually not good value for you!
